Welcome to Must Have Monday’s. Every Monday our reviewers will let you have a sneak peak into what we use in our homes and our lives. Here we will tell you about the things we can’t live without.

The Bissell Spotbot gets quite a workout in our home. With an older dog who has incontinence issues, my choices are to put my beloved Pupstar outside or find a really great carpet cleaner. I love the Spotbot for it’s hands free features. You fill it up, put it down and turn it on. It’s that easy.

It has held up through frequent use in our home for over a year and hasn’t taken on the odors that it is cleaning like our previous carpet cleaner did. For any pet owners who have carpet in their home, the Bissell Spotbot is a must have.

It doesn’t seem to matter what kind of oil free products I use on my face, by the end of the day it looks like a grease pool right around my nose. I’ve tried oil free make-up, lotion, toner, etc… As a last resort I finally spent $5 on a package of Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets at the drugstore and they actually worked! I was shocked!

I expected them to work about as well as a tissue, but to my surprise you could see the oil on the blue little sheets and they didn’t smear my make-up as I rubbed the sheet around the oily areas. The shine was gone from my nose and my face looked very fresh. I didn’t even need to reapply my powder, which was usually what I did that created the excess oil. The package now stays in my purse all the time.

There are a lot of candles on the market you can choose from, but I’ve found the best available are made by Votivo. I was introduced to this line by a friend who gave me the Red Currant scent for my birthday and I was instantly hooked. They not only look cute in the simple glass jar, but the aroma lasts well beyond when you blow it out.

Votivo candles are made to burn for at least 50 hours and thus far mine have all exceeded that. You can choose from a variety of scents and the make perfect gifts. Although the price tag of just under $25 seems high, the quality is well worth the expense!
